Cuebuddy has been keeping an eye on e-bay for me for awhile looking for a pool related item. I have missed the ones he told me about several times just from my own carelessness or because somebody really wanted the item. Finally scored something I wanted tonight that I would never have seen without Cuebuddy giving me a head's up.

Cuebuddy, thank you your help was much appreciated. Let's do it again if the right snooker stick shows up. :D

This was just a walking cane made from an antique snooker stick. Cuebuddy had given me the taper measurements off of one of these sticks before but it will be nice to have most of one in hand. Being a gimpy old varmint I occasionally use a cane when I walk a lot. Having a cane might lead someone to think they could do something foolish, the size of my canes is discouraging to foolishness and this one is no exception.

Wow Hu I never saw this one coming. That is so cool that you got it. Helping each other out is what makes this place work. :thumbup:

Cuebuddy, thank you for helping Hu. He's one of the very best men I know and I'm a better man because of his friendship and advice. Kudos to you Cuebuddy for taking the time!

LOL too damn funny. You used varmint in a sentence which is amazing and you clearly have strong arms to be able to swing that type of cane.

What if you are sitting and someone steals the cane to hit a woman who stole his pool cue in the head with it? Any moral or legal obligation? JK giving you a hard time because it is Friday and I'm going on vacation in about 5 and a half hours.

I'd rep you but I gotta spread it.

You guys are welcome. IMO you don't reach the elite level of a forum like this one with out being a great person and you should know that Terry;) because your right there also. I am not far from needing a cane myself unless I can find away to get my right ankle replaced. Right now I get shots and they make a huge difference. Once I find away to get 4 awesome kids through college I will take care of the ankle operation:rolleyes:. Anyway I was glad that it worked out for Hu. I am always on the lookout for vintage cues and scored a great one last week in Fort Collins Colorado for 15.00 dollars:grin:. I will try to post some pics of this cue later this coming week.
 
Enjoy your vacation!

My life has went nothing but downhill. First I quit working outdoors year around and spent all my time indoors in the AC and with pretty women all around. That sounds great but then I realized, no more rain out days!

Then I retired. That stinks too, no more vacation.

It's rough being me! :D :D :D

Being ever a gentleman, I would have offered the lady the cue or cane. She may have been right to attack the man, never a good idea to come light! I came home once to find my baby girl with a huge knot on her head when she was nine or ten. The neighbor's son had hit her with a baseball bat for "no reason". I talked to her awhile and she kept insisting that she didn't do anything.

I couldn't go kick the kid's ass but I was fixing to go kick his dad's ass just for having such an idiot son when my daughter admitted she had hit the boy with the bat first but barely touched him. I told her never to do that again, if you hit somebody make it count! The next time she whacked him it was with a two by and he couldn't return the favor! :thumbup:

Hope I gave you a laugh to start your vacation. Enjoy it!

Amazing you should inquire about that! As a matter of fact (and I wouldn't tell you any half truths unless they were completely accurate!:smile:), the scenario you mentioned actually DID occur! BUT, when the man tried to grab the cane away from Hu (no easy task but he was talking on the telephone with some knucklehead in Pennsylvania), he made the mistake of trying to disarm a man who not only is an expert on the walking cane (Bo staff), but is actually a 14.1 degree master in the Bo Staff. In fact, Hu was the much sought after technical advisor to this video.....

LOL I agree, if you're gonna take it the violent route at least make it count.

Which reminds me of something. What ever happened to the art of the shove? People don't shove anymore do they? When I was growing up it was about the shove before the rumble. It was the opportunity to measure out what you are up against. If you shoved someone hard enough, they didn't wanna fight anymore. If both people felt the shoves and thought they could win, a fight broke out. Someone teach these kids the art of the shove please. It could prevent many a ass whoopin IMO. Haha

Nope not me. I teach '57 Chevy tire tool and broken pool cues. Had to laugh about your art of the shove post. I loved people that started fights with a shove, gave me the distance to reply with a right cross stepping in! I fought a lot from about ten to twenty-five. Realized that losers were getting too fond of calling the law after they got their butts kicked and gave it up, . . . mostly. Moved to a very redneck town and you either had to bounce test somebody a few times a year or you got the reputation as a wimp and somebody that could be taken advantage of.

That's what I'm talking about. Just think though if the shove woulda been good enough, maybe you just shove them back and then begin the dialog like "Yo assface I aint gonna waste time in the county on whoopin your punk ass".

Now the bounce test is a whole other post. That's hilarious but so true and common depending on where you go. Even to this day.
